I don't think there's anything wrong with that statement.

I don't think BRoeth was arrested for the motorcycle incident. IIRC Deshea Townsend was arrested for an assault. Didn't Bettis have an assault charge at some point?

I thought it was with Green Bay but it looks like it was his last year of college.

Prior to entering the NFL, Davenport allegedly broke into the dorm room of a Barry University woman and defecated in a laundry basket on April 1, 2002.[5] In a plea bargain, his felony charge of second-degree burglary and misdemeanor count of criminal mischief were dropped in exchange for his completing 100 hours of community service.[6] Davenport maintained his innocence after the hearing, and began yelling outside of the courthouse, "Where's the evidence? Where's the manure? I know I didn't do it – I just wanted to get it over with."[7]During his career, Davenport was given the nicknames "Dookie"[8] and "The Dump Truck."[9] All are plays on the incident.

Correct. He was cited on the helmet law, an expired permit, and maybe for registration and inspection on the bike, but not arrested.

Love that ESPN is now full force turning this Hernandez stuff into one big pity party for Robert Kraft and the Patriot way. No other team deals with thugs or criminals, it's just the poor naive Pats that were duped into giving a talented player a second chance

On Bill Burr's podcast this week, he was complaining about all of the people who are whining that Gronk is always, hurt, Welker is gone, and Hernandez has this. You'd think this would put that aside a bit. Also, they still have Brady.

The Broncos offseason, and defense, could be getting worse. All-Pro linebacker Von Miller is facing a four-game suspension from the NFL for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Miller, who finished second in the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year voting in 2012, is currently in the appeals process. If the suspension is upheld, the Broncos would lose Miller for the first four games of the 2013 season, including the regular-season opener against the defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens. The suspension, while troubling for the team on the field, also adds yet another black mark to an already tainted Broncos offseason.

Thoughts on the idea that the NFL officials control tempo of play, not the teams themselves? For me, it just adds to my feelings of the college game being more entertaining than the pro game (more variety in how games are played)
